The Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court has sentenced a 28-year-old driver, Emmanuel Aboku, to six years in prison for stealing a motorbike belonging to a farmer at Asesewa in the Eastern Region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aboku was convicted on the charge of stealing, contrary to Section 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the prosecutor, Chief Inspector John Brahene, the complainant, Albert Nahi, a 56-year-old farmer from Akotoe village near Asesewa, reported the theft of his black Haojue motorbike with registration number M-21-GR 3036, valued at GH\u00a217,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said on July 24, 2025, at about 0600hours, Mr. Nahi parked the motorbike at the Star Oil Filling Station in Asesewa before travelling to Accra.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, when he returned the following day around 1600 hours, the motorbike was missing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Chief Inspector said police investigations, aided by CCTV footage from the filling station, revealed that Aboku was responsible for the theft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A manhunt was launched, leading to his arrest on August 16, 2025, at Asesewa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that during interrogation, the accused admitted to the crime in the presence of an independent witness and led investigators to Anyesu Village, where the stolen motorbike was retrieved.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prosecutor noted that the accused was charged and arraigned before court.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

After considering the facts and his admission of guilt, the court sentenced Aboku to six years\u2019 imprisonment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Inspector Brahene said the sentence, according to the court, is intended not only to punish the offender but also to serve as a deterrent to others engaged in similar criminal activities within the Krobo enclave. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
